A very weird noise started when turning the wheels to either side that was getting worse.

After checking the steering pump lines, they were clogged, only a few drops were getting into the steering system, made a complete flush on the line until it was completely free. I would suggest everyone checking that frequently, the stock fluid is not the best quality and can damage your steering.

I detected this on time but It could have fried the steering pump, and if that happens on the highway, trust me, it won't end nice.

I read through forums that this is a common issue with the RX 330 and RX 350 (2007-2009).
